Indeed, StGIT has grown quite a lot (it now has ~45 commands) and it probably feels better as a tool on its own. However, I think it would be good for git to get such functionality (and it could even share some ideas StGIT and guilt). If this functionality will get fully integrated in git, StGIT could use it directly rather than the low-level git commands. An example of additional functionality that might stay outside of git (at least for a while): since basic patch management support is pretty much complete in StGIT, a feature we are thinking about adding is better support for patch sharing between developers (or repositories/branches). This should allow easier cloning and merging with branches that have a volatile history at the top. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
